Abstract

The safety and efficiency of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based hydrogel as a tissue sealant in porcine partial nephractomy was investigated. A group of female domestic swine with minimum weight of 65kg was used for the study. There were non interoperative or post-operative complications observed and the hemostasis was found to be satisfactory. The results suggested that PEG-based hydrogel can be used a safe and effective sealant for sealing the cut surfaces of kidneys following porcine partial nephractomy.
